Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Formio Mcp ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install Python 3.13+ and uv. Add the server configuration to Claude Desktop, specifying uvx mcp-formio-server --api-url YOUR_FORMIO_API_URL. The server then makes FormIO tools available to supported LLMs.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

}📝 FormIO MCP Server
This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for integrating with the FormIO API, enabling AI agents to interact with dynamic form creation, submission management, and user roles using natural language input.
The goal of this project is to expose FormIO's functionality through MCP-compatible tools that can be used seamlessly by large language models and agent frameworks.
🧠 What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a lightweight protocol designed to let AI agents interact with external tools and APIs in a structured and modular way. Think of it like USB for AI — this server acts as a "driver" for the FormIO platform.
With this MCP server, AI models can:
- 📋 Create and manage dynamic forms
- 📊 Submit and retrieve form data
- 👥 Handle user authentication and authorization
- 🔑 Manage role-based permissions and access control
🚀 How to Run
To use this MCP server, you'll need:
✅ Prerequisites
- Python 3.13+
- uv – a modern Python package manager
- A supported LLM (e.g., Claude)
- A FormIO account – sign up at form.io
Claude Desktop Configuration
Add this to your Claude Desktop config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-formio": {
"command": "uvx",
